Pumps and Fans are energy consuming equipment that can be found in almost all Industries. Therefore, it is important to check if they are running efficiently. This presentation give an overview about energy saving opportunities in pump and fan equipment. It was prepared in the context of energy auditor training in Nepal in the context of GIZ/NEEP programme. For further information go to EEC webpage: http://eec-fncci.org/

Energy Efficiency :Energy Efficiency : AS RUN PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENTAS RUN PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT OF PUMPS AND FANSOF PUMPS AND FANS D PAWAN KUMARD PAWAN KUMAR
AS RUN ENERGY PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT OFAS RUN ENERGY PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT OF PUMPSPUMPS :: Purpose of the As runPurpose of the As run Performance Tests:Performance Tests: • Determination of the pump efficiencyDetermination of the pump efficiency during the operating conditionsduring the operating conditions • Determination of system resistanceDetermination of system resistance and the operating duty point of theand the operating duty point of the pumps and compare the same withpumps and compare the same with design.design.
Performance TermsPerformance Terms :: Pump Capacity, Q = Volume of liquid delivered by pump per unit time,m3 /hr or m3 /sec Q is proportional to N, where N- rotational speed of the pump Total developed head, H= The sum of suction and discharge pressures The pump head represents the net work done on unit weights of a liquid in passing from inlet of the pump to the discharge of the pump. There are three heads in common use in pumps namely 1.0. Static head 2.0. Velocity head 3.0. Friction head. The frictional head in a system of pipes, valves and fittings varies as a function (roughly as the square) of the capacity flow through the system. System resistance: The sum of frictional head in resistance & total static head. .
Pump Efficiency:Pump Efficiency: Where, Hydraulic power, Ph (kW) = Q x (hd - hs ) x ρ x g / 1000 Q = Volume flow rate (m3 /s), ρ = density of the fluid (kg/m3 ), g = acceleration due to gravity (m/s2 ), (hd - hs ) = Total head in metres 100 , x shaftpumpthetoinputPower PpowerHydraulic EfficiencyPump h =
As run Trials for Determination of PumpAs run Trials for Determination of Pump EfficiencyEfficiency To determine the pump efficiency, three key parameters are required: Flow, Head and Power. Of these, flow measurement is the most crucial parameter as normally accurate online flow meters are hardly available, in majority of pumping systems. The following methods can be adopted to assess the flow depending on the availability and site conditions.
Different Methods forDifferent Methods for Flow MeasurementFlow Measurement , Q:, Q: • Tracer method BS5857Tracer method BS5857 • Ultrasonic flow measurementUltrasonic flow measurement • Tank filling methodTank filling method • Installation of an on-line flow meterInstallation of an on-line flow meter
1-Tracer Method1-Tracer Method :: The Tracer method is particularly suitable for cooling water flow measurement because of their sensitivity and accuracy. This method is based on injecting a tracer into the cooling water for a few minutes at an accurately measured constant rate. A series of samples is extracted from the system at a point where the tracer has become completely mixed with the cooling water. The mass flow rate is calculated from: qcw = q1 x C1/C2 where qcw = cooling water mass flow rate, kg/s q1 = mass flow rate of injected tracer, kg/s C1 = concentration of injected tracer, kg/kg C2 = concentration of tracer at downstream position during the ‘plateau’ period of constant concentration, kg/kg The tracer normally used is sodium chloride.
2-Ultrasonic Flow meters:2-Ultrasonic Flow meters: Operating on Doppler effect principle, these meters are non-invasive, meaning measurements can be taken without disturbing the system. Scales and rust in the pipes are likely to impact the accuracy •Ensure measurements are taken in a sufficiently long length of pipe free from flow disturbance due to bends, tees and other fittings. •The pipe section where measurement is to be taken should be hammered gently to enable scale and rust to fall out. •For better accuracy, a section of the pipe can be replaced with new pipe for flow measurements.
3-Tank filling method:3-Tank filling method: In open flow systems such as water getting pumped to an overhead tank or a sump, the flow can be measured by noting the difference in tank levels for a specified period during which the outlet flow from the tank is stopped. The internal tank dimensions should be preferable taken from the design drawings, in the absence of which direct measurements may be resorted to.
4-Installation of an on-line flow meter:4-Installation of an on-line flow meter: If the application to be measured is going to be critical and periodic then the best option would be to install an on-line flow meter which can get rid of the major problems encountered with other types.
Determination of total head, H:Determination of total head, H: Suction head (hs) This is taken from the pump inlet pressure gauge readings and the value to be converted in to meters (1kg/cm2 = 10. m). If not the level difference between sump water level to the centerline of the pump is to be measured. This gives the suction head in meters. Discharge head (hd) This is taken from the pump discharge side pressure gauge. Installation of the pressure gauge in the discharge side is a must, if not already available.
